Dumbie

"I know aſſuredly that Janet Douglas, that was firſt a Dumbie, yet ſpoke thereafter, who had given many Reſponſes by Signs and Words, and foretold many future Events, being examined by Mr. Gray, one of the Miniſters of the City of Glaſgou, denied any explicit or implicit Paction, and declared freely that the Anſwers of the Queſtions proponed to her were repreſented by a Viſion in lively Images, repreſenting the Perſons concerned, and acting the Thing before her Eyes: This Mr. Gray exchanged ſeveral Diſcourſes in Writ with Sir James Turner concerning her."

"“[…] We will tell them we want to help them.” / “Why?” / “Are you some kind of a dumbie, Sunny? So we can find out all about money before they find out, but if they find out before we find out, we can kidnap whoever finds out so they can’t find out.”"
